Hi
I need real advice, i train real hard, always giving efforts but no results...... coz if i eat more i gain fat around my torso first and then later it somehow starts coming to other body parts. Everything is really messed up, i am losing my time to struggle against it. Never miss my lifting sessions.

Hey Evan, I am a huge fan of yours and I love the way you approach bodybuilding in much respect as a thinking-mans bodybuilder. I am 18 years old and I have been training now for about 4 years and in those 4 years I have been training naturally. My biggest dream is to compete and do well as well as help motivate other people along the way. Lately I feel that my muscular development "gains" have hit a plateau. The major areas I have hit a plateau with is in my back width, arm development. Do you have any advice as to what I can do to better those areas? Thanks again!

Hey Yeti, whats your opinion on giant sets? I mean using giant sets as a primary method for gaining muscle. How about training the same muscle twice a day? Here in Finland plenty of people are now using giant sets and training the same muscle twice a day. For me it seems ridiculous as I cannot possible see how they could recover from these workouts. Of course when you have chemicals running through your body then your recovery rate increases dramatically. But for natural athletes I dont see how this kind training could lead to gains. Appreciate the answer!!!

just wanted to thank you or helping take my nutrition to a new level. Your advice and food preparation has been extremely helpful. As a nurse with two jobs and 4 children my time is very valuable. Your cooking techniques have shortened my cooking time by hours and gave me more time with my family.. I wish you and yours all the best.God bless.

Hi Evan & fellow Connecticuter!
I feel as if you are one of the most knowledgeable Pro's out there, very well spoken and able break bodybuilding down into laymen terms(especially Nutrition). Have you ever thought about tagging up with Kai Greene and Ben Pakulski to make an educational video series? I feel that they both are on the same page as you as far as educating the public goes by using science and speaking the truth and this would make for a very in-depth and interesting video series to watch. I very much enjoy Kai Greens mindset and perseverance and Ben Pakulski's approach to functional weight training while keeping kinesiology in mind. I feel like the three of you together would be like the dream team of modern bodybuilding knowledge (Nutrition, Proper Training, & Mindset) that everyone would benefit from.
-Thanks
